To name: The organelles in which the photosynthesis and cellular respiration occurs.
Concept introduction: Photosynthesis is a metabolic process, in which the plants convert light energy into chemical energy. During the process of photosynthesis, sunlight is used by the cell to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration is the biological process during which the chemical energy of food is released and converted in the form of ATP. It occurs in four major steps, glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
To determine: The atmospheric gas that is released and which gases are consumed in photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell.
